PIEDMONT — A 24-3 second quarter sent the Piedmont Highlanders to a 77-52 victory over the Middletown Mustangs in the boys championship game of the 48th annual Stokes Invitational on Saturday night at Kelseyville High School.

Middletown (5-4) carried a 17-14 lead into the second quarter before Piedmont (9-2) pushed in front to stay. The Highlanders continued to build on their advantage in the second half and led 63-34 entering the final period.

Middletown received 16 points from Andreas Cervantes and 12 from Sammy Cervantes. Will Chastain added eight and Jimmy Rockwell had seven.

The Mustangs hits the road Wednesday to play El Molino in a non-league game.

Kelseyville 70, Upper Lake 49

At Kelseyville, the Kelseyville Knights scored 43 first-half points while routing the Upper Lake Cougars in a Stokes final-round game.

Upper Lake (10-3) was filling in for Calistoga, which dropped out of the tournament on Thursday, in Saturday’s action.

“We really tried to key on Kenny Hodges, (Hank) Nevarez and (Dylan) Armstrong,” Kelseyville head coach Gus Schillinger said of three of Upper Lake’s chief scoring threats. “I was surprised to see that Hodges had 25 points after the game. Those were the quietest 25 points I’ve ever seen.”

Kelseyville’s defense did hold Nevarez and Armstrong to a combined nine points.

A couple of lineup changes helped spark what had been a slumbering Kelseyville offense, according to Schillinger, who moved Adrian Villalobos into the starting lineup while bringing Tyler Linnell off the bench.

With Villalobos running the point, Kelseyville scored 21 points in the first quarter and 22 more in the second while building a commanding 43-26 halftime lead.

“In his first start he showed why he is such an amazing athlete,” Schillinger said. “He can really trigger the fastbreak for us. Villalobos and Robert Chavez give us a 1-2 punch in the backcourt.”

Villalobos finished with 12 points and Chavez had 11, but it was Linnell’s 18 points that led the Knights (2-6).

“He came off the bench in the second quarter and hit four 3-pointers,” Schillinger said.

Josh Hodson gave Kelseyville a fourth player in double figures with 13 points.

Hodges was the only Upper Lake player to score more than six points. He is seven points away from becoming Upper Lake’s career boys scoring leader, a record he should break Tuesday when the Cougars host Technology of Rohnert Park.
